Empty Vessel

After a few drinks in the evening with his pub mates in the bar
He brags about his new home and about his brand new car
And about his job promotion and his huge raise in pay
And they seem quite impressed with him boasting for some works okay.

The volume of his voice it raise a little 'twould seem with every beer
Till everyone in the bar-room can't help but overhear
Him boasting of his greatness of which he makes us all aware
But for his hour of self promotion I wish he'd go elsewhere.

Of the not so good side to him he never does relate
Of the unmanly things about ourselves we would not tell our mate
He does not realize yet that his secret is out
That he goes home each evening and knocks his wife about.

He is seen as successful in many people's eyes
But many can be gullible and not what you'd call wise
Material things impress them yet they fail to realize
That the most empty vessel does make the most of noise.
